Sylvain Chomet’s The Illusionist, the follow-up to his brilliant 2003 Les triplettes de Belleville had its premiere screening this week at the Berlin Film Festival. I can't wait to see it! It's an adaptation of an unproduced screenplay by Jacques Tati, intended to be a live action film. This footage looks fantastic and if the screenplay is anything close to Tati's wonderful Playtime (which I've only just picked up on Blu-ray) this could be one of the finest animated films of the year!
